title: 5-Chloro-2-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-7-methyl-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C16H12ClFO2S, the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 16.43 (4)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (1) Å] of the benzo-furan fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of Cl⋯O contacts [3.1839 (12) Å] into inversion dimers, which are further packed into stacks along the b axis by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
